I can understand that, but don't you feel like that's wasting a vote? It's been over 100 years since someone other than a Republican or Democrat was president, and to be honest, I don't think ANYONE could win as an independent or other. Me personally, I will be suggesting to people to vote for Trump, even if they didn't like him, because I believe the alternative ( Biden ) is far worse. Maybe in 2028, if America exists, we can get a really good candidate who's not part of the 2 party system. We can hope. 

And another thing...if something happens to Biden, then Kamela Harris would become President!    Oh no...

I would say that he is equal because the Father gave him the authority over everything except himself.  After Jesus has subdued everything to himself, he will present it all to the Father and subject himself to the Father.  I do believe where this scripture uses the Word God, it is speaking of the Father.

Did you watch the video?   He is specifically explaining John 14:28 which Muslims try to use to say Jesus isn't God.

There are write-ins, abstaining from voting, other minor candidate to vote for and other choices for Christians who do not support Trump to think about.

 

Those will be lost votes...so actually giving those votes to Biden.

Btw, I don't hate anyone.   It's just that I am disgusted with all of the craziness going on and being accepted as normal under the current administration.   

Excellent explanation by Sam Shamoun...

We are OVERRUN with porn, trafficking, transgenderism, lying officials, fake churches, dysfunctional families, horrible choices for entertainment, and so MUCH more evil.

I can't grasp that some  believe that Trump is the answer to all of our problems.

Biden and most Democratic politicians are just going along with the flow of Woke culture.  Children changing their sex with hormones and surgeries, teachers going along with kids thinking they are another sex, boys allowed to use girls' bathrooms and locker rooms because they say they are girls, children thinking they are an animal...

The list of Woke craziness just goes on and on.

And don't forget the illegal migrants overwhelming our border under Biden.   Most of them are not true asylum seekers but want the free benefits they get in the USA.

Biden overturned 90% of Trump's immigration regulations!

While Trump might not be perfect (who of us are), I think he will try to curtail some of this craziness.

My daughter in law Carly is a teacher and saw her teacher's aid murdered by her husband in front of their own child and a bus load of grade school children.  He shot her 3 times!    

Willa, if this occured while Carly was working, if she needs time off to recover it should be covered by Worker's Compensation.   Also, any medical care she needs would be covered by Worker's Compensation.

God help her and the children.

And on a lighter note, this video made me laugh.   Even the Muslim Sam Shamoun was talking with had to laugh at this story that Muslims are taught to believe.

His bladder issue also causes bad odor and can be very overwhelming as well as embarrassing. It is hard sitting amongst people with an odor that strong. Pray that he also takes better care of himself. Pray that he manages his personal hygiene better. Pray that he does not get a bacteria infection for having wet underwears

Since I currently have to change diapers on my 94 year old mom, I found a cheaper, good medical supply company called Carewell.

They have all sorts of products for personal hygiene.... maybe he can find something to help him with the odor.

I bought some cleansers for mom that I just spray on and then wipe off.   No rinsing required.   Some you can use all over the body, too, for sponge bathing a patient.

I even found two reasonable shampoos for myself.   And everything came in one day!   Shipping is either free or very reasonable.

Glad to hear that the surgery went well and you are home.   May the pain subside soon with God's help.

Could also be describing Antifa. Usually white, indoctrinated, come from wealth and privilege and a leftist household. (Purely my opinion).

 

I read that Antifa infiltrates protest groups in order to stir them up more and create violence.

Btw, a Muslim valedictorian woman who was scheduled to give a speech at University of Southern California was removed from speaking.   (Now all other visiting speakers have been removed as well.)

The reason she was removed was because she had anti-Israel links on her social media.  (One called for abolishment of the state of Israel).   The university said they cancelled her speech because of security/safety issues.

There have been protests about the cancellation of her speech.

Jewish students also say they feel unsafe.

Criticism of Islam by Mar Mari Emmanuel (very short informative videos)

 

Good, informative video Daniel.   I heard about the attack and stabbing of the bishop in Australia by the Muslim youth.

The man at the beginning of the video gave a lot of information about Mohammed.

Prayers Lynn.

Praying for your wife, you and the situation.

Can I ask how her Calcium levels are high?  Does she eat a lot of Calcium rich food?  I'm always after my mom to take a Calcium supplement which she doesn't want to do.  She doesn't have much Calcium in her diet.

They wanted to fire me. I was forced to get a psychiatric test. That psychiater said: Aren't you worried? Single mom, they want to fire you. I said no, thinking: Cast all your cares on Him, because He cares for you. LOL She thought that was nuts and wrote down that I was nuts but too stupid to realize it myself and then they couldn't fire me.

All things work together for good to those who love God and are the called according to His purpose.

Btw, that psychiatrist would probably think we are all nuts....

How do you rest when you have worries like rent and school ect?

I learned a long time ago to trust and believe God's promises.   Try memorizing some Scripture to help you during trials.

Like @RdJ mentioned, cast all your cares onto Him for He cares for you.

Sam Shamoun is really good at answering.   He knows the Quran.   Anyone familiar with him?

This Muslim woman is shocked by what Sam tells her.

I just know I'm not like other Christians who strive to please God.

Do you realize that walking with the Lord is a life of peace and even joy throughout hard times?   Sometimes we might not have overwhelming joy, but inside we still have peace.

Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light.   You talk about striving... although we do want to live godly in Christ, to me it isn't about striving.   It's about resting in Jesus and walking with Him....a life of peace.    A good life, away from the troubles that sin brings.

The Lord help her.... So sorry to hear this.

Should I pray to start?

Yes, and fill your mind with the teachings of Jesus. Praise God in your thoughts, recite memorized verses in your mind and pray unceasingly. When your mind is filled with the things of God there is no room for the Adversary to harass you with rubbish. Praise of God will chase the enemy away because of their hatred of all things pertaining to God. God is love therefore practicing agape love will also cause evil to flee.

@mel85   I agree wholeheartedly with the above.

Mel, don't think so much about the evil one.   Instead when something starts to assail you, remember some Scripture verses to combat the situation.

Remember the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.   And take the helmet of salvation for protection of your mind.  Ephesians 6 is good to dwell upon...the armor of God.

Try to hold on with the Lord's help Wayne....two years from retirement is good.

Street preacher, Dorre Love... Ministry of the Word...

I see the video is now unavailable.   You can see it on YouTube....just look for Dorre Love Ministry of the Word.

Update on mom.

The physical therapist was here today.   We saw that mom did seem somewhat stronger today!   So that was good...he still uses his strength to hold her up but she was helping more by trying to stand on her legs.

It will be good when she's strong enough for me to help her onto the portable commode rather than changing the diapers on her.

Please pray that God will bless me with more of His grace, mercy, peace, and joy. I've been discouraged and down lately. Thank you for praying.

Remember that the Lord loves you no matter what...even if you fail, He loves you.   Rest in His love for you.

I feel a slew of emotions from deep sadness to anger that I just can't shake this mental whatever off. 

I feel I'm too busy.  I have kids, I'm trying to study for school but I just feel like crying daily bc I can't get rid of this. These rhoughts,feelings ect. 

I try to atleast keep myself from crying bc I feel if I'm not crying I'm not crazy and I'm keeping it together. 

Right now I'm having a hard time. I feel like a failure as a mother, too many intrusive thoughts,I feel hopeless, I feel God won't help. I just feel like a lost cause.

I already reached out to my Dr.  She Said someone was gonna reach out to me-- hasn't happened.  So I tried to reach out to them. Email is messed up. Will call. I just feel like a failure. 

I'm trying but it doesn't seem good enough. I feel like I'm just a moment of splitting from reality. 

 

I'm ashamed I may need meds. I'm ashamed I'm alone and been alone and friendless my entire life. 

I feel hopeless bc I feel God won't help. I feel he's just looking at me wanting for me to lose then blame me for not holding on. 

I feel hopeless. 

I just feel God won't help me. My worst fear is the S word and I feel God wouldn't even try to stop me. 

I just feel he doesn't care about my life. 

I just feel small and unimportsnt to most.  

My brain is broken . 

 

I need assistance but I'm. Mot sure where to start. 

 

I'm trying though

The most important thing is to realize the Lord loves you and is with you throughout everything in life.   He loves you even when you fail.  

Remember to take a day at a time with the Lord's help.   That's how we all get through hard times.

Another thing is we must be wise in how we treat our bodies.   I remember you saying that you are sleep deprived.    That will mess up your brain.   Before a doctor puts you on any brain altering drug, he should know you are sleep deprived.
